Being humble means accepting humiliation (2)

'Not just being polite' says at St Martha's House

(ANSA) - Vatican City, December 5 - Being humble means
accepting humiliation like Christ, Pope Francis told a Mass in
the Vatican Tuesday.
In the life of a Christian, humility is an indispensable
quality that is needed in order to allow the gifts of the Holy
Spirit to grow, Francis said at St Martha's House, the Vatican
hostel he lives in.
Being humble does not mean being polite, he said.
Instead, it means being able to accept humiliations, said the
pontiff.
"Humility without humiliation," he stressed, " is not
humility."
A humble man or a woman is one who is able to endure
humiliations like Jesus whom the Pope described as "the great
humiliated."
